phase species as shown by Banna !I]_ Bigelow and Freund (2.31 proposed au explanation of this effect in terms of intermokcular screening induced by strong coupling of the !ocaIized ion state to the surrounding neutral molecules: It turned out that calculations on dimer systems resulted in spectmI changes relative to the free moIecuIe which were very similar to those observed experimentahy when

going from the vapor to the solid phase, provided that correIation contributions were included in the analysis [6]_ It was possible to show that the active coupling mechanism was not hydrogen-bonding as had been suegested [6]_

So far PN_4 and 2-amine-6-nitronaphthalene [6] are the only eztmples where both vapor and con- densed phase spectra. as well as a series of ap- propriate caIct~Iations. have been reported_ To fur- ther elucidate the electronic properties leading to vapor-tocondensed phase spectraI changes it is worth carrying through an equivalent study on an additional system

Vety recently Slaughter et aI_ reported the phase core-ionization of nitrosoben- which provides with the

ing solid spectra of et al_ another set spectra on to test solid state interactions reasonably the observed in the function Nitrosobenxene particularly weII for such

It is therefore somewhat surprising that the core

photoelectron spectra of gaseous and solid nitrosobenzene are rather similar_ The purpose of this work is to address this apparent ambiguity_ In addition, unlike the case of PNA, where “pairings occurs between adjacent donor/acceptor moieties (not dimerization in a chemical sense). nitroso- benzene exhibits “strong* dim& interaction be- tween atoms on adjacent acceptor groups- The question is: does the N-N bond formed on con- densation influence the cot-c-hoIe spectra; and if so. why are gas and solid phase spectra so similar7 In this connection it is useful as we shall see in the course of this paper, to compare the spectra of nitrosobenxene dimers (d,,= 132A (111) with those of solid NO [13,14], where dimers are formed in the solid with a N-N bond length of = 2.2 A [15,16]_ Recently, Tanner et aI_ 1131 reported strong changes in the spectral function upon con- densation of NO which were interpreted as being due :o intermolecuku screening within the NO dimsr moiety_

We report in this paper the results of calcu- lations on monomeric and dimerized nitrosoben- zene (&-and trans-configuration). as well as a brief excursion on the relationship to NO dimers, to show the intluence of intermolecular bond strengths on the spectraI function. Our compu- tations indicate that the simiIarities between gas and solid phase spectra are “accidentaI”_ The na- ture of the transitions involved in the satellite excitation are significantly different_ While in nitrosobenzene the charge transfer between sub- stituent and phenyl group is the important screen- ing prw the intermoIecuIar charge transfer be- tween NO moieties is the dominating .mechanism infhxencing the satellite intensity within the nitrosob enxene dimer- In comparison to the nitric oxide dimer the nature of this intermolecular screening process is d%cussed_ It is shown that electron correlation is im_portant in correctly de- scribing satellite intensities_

configurations [19) using the Pariser-Parr ap- proximation (201 to the two-center CouIcnib rep& sion integrals_ Core-ionized species were treated within the equivaknt-core approximation [2&q where the atom to be ionized (atomic number 2) -was replaced by the next highest atom in the periodic table (Z’ = Z + 1). Convergence was achieved for aI N 1s and 0 1s monomer and dimer geometric configurations considered. Excited state computations were then performed on the “equiv- alent-core” closed shell species assuming only singlet coupling between alI valence electrons. In all core-ion state cakulations which include dou- bly excited state configurations the 300 lowest energg excitations were selected from 5000 created configurations of proper symmetry Relative inten- sities, IL, were obtained within the sudden ap- proximation by projection of the correlated ion- state wavefunction (!I$&~) onto that of the “frozen’ ion state (*lF_) given in terms of the one-ekctron orbitah of the neutraI system,

Projections of the relaxed ion-state wavefunc- tion onto the correIated and uncorrelated initiaI state were performed to examine the importance of correlation contributions [6,23]_

The calculations on the valence-ionization spec- tra were performed using an open shell version of the CNDO/S program 1241. We calculated the iowest energy doublet state of the radical cation self-consistently and then treated the higher ex- cited doublet states by configuration interaction in the basis of determinants created from the one-electron excitations of the ground doublet state_ The intensities for the ionization spectrum were caIcuIated from the projection of ground and excited doublet states onto the determinant of the neutral species [25]. For the valence spectra only sir&y excited states are inchtded-

Molecular coordinates used in the computations were calculated from bondlengths and bond angles given by Pople and Beveridge [26]_

3_ Results and dkussion

3_ I_ Nirrosobenzene monomer (N3)

The computationaf results for N 1s and 0 Is ionization of the nitrosobenzene monomer (NB) are compared in fig 1 to the e.xperimentaI gas phase spectra given by Slaughter et aI. [7]. Since neutraI mokcule correlation contributions had Iit- tle effect on the find state spectra, only the results obtained by projection of the ion states onto the uncorrelated neutral ground state are shown. The computations clearly reflect experiment, particu- larly with respect to the differences between N 1s and 0 1s ionization_ For example, a satellite is obtained at 2.6 eV for N 1s ionization and 3.6 eV for 0 1s ionization_ These energies are in close agreement with the experimental values of 243 eV and 3-75 eV, respectively 171. The experimental 0 IS shake-up features appear asymmetric and broader than the main line, whereas the shake-up band associated with N Is ionization is consider-

ably sharper Such reIative behavior is reproduced in the computations_ As indicated in fig_ 1 the asymmetry in the 0 1s shake-up spectrum arises from a second relatively intense excitation not present in the N 1s rest&s_ In addition, the broad shake-up feature observed in the 0 Is spectrum between 10.0 and 15.0 eV is’reflected in the com- putational rest&s. Although a similar intensity pattern is predicted for N 1s ionization, the experi- mental spectrum was not extended to sufficient energies to aIIow a similar correlation

Locahzation of the orbitak which contribute most strongly to the shake-up interpretation is given in fig. 2. Within the present set of one-elec- tron orbitak the highIy excited configuration (19 --, 21) separately accounts for only a smaII portion (8%) of the shake-up intensity as indicated in tables 14_ The shakeup transitions thus *‘gain’ the appropriate additional intensity through con- structive interference between the highly excited configuration, the ionic ground state and the dou- bly excited configurations in the final state inten-

moiety towards the benzene rins It should be noted that an interpretation of the shake-up pro- cess in terms of the orbital localizations given in fig-2 suggests just the opposite direction of charge transfer, i-e_ from the aromatic ring toward the NO moiety_ The origin of this counter-intuitive result lies in the fact that the final excited state is not pure, but rather a mixture of five determinants (tabIe 1). The charge distribution is given by the square of the complete wavefunction, including interference terms- In this case the cross terms dominate_ Decomposition of the excited state charge transfer into -atomic components reveals that the oxygen atoin contriiutes 0_2 e (75% of the total excited state charge transfer). whereas the nitrogen looses only O-04 e (25% of the c*e transfer)_ The ionized N atom then carries only 5% less screen&g charge in tbe exdted state than in the ionic ground state Shake-up excitation yields an UEcreened oxygen center, even with respect to the neutral ground state_ The manifestation of charge transfer from the oxygen atom on -shake&p

Upon creation of an N 1s core hole the niL% gens are no Ionger equivaIent This leads to a rehitive IocaIiration of the one-eIectron wavefunc- tions on specific ~fragments’* of the dimer_ The occupied orbik& for exampk is Iocahzed on the NO moiety containing the core hole which impiies

a transfer of charge toward the ionized atom. This. is demonstrated more directiy by comparing charge distributions:in the neutral and the N 1s ionic ground state Fig 8 shows gross atomic popula- tions and bond indices for the N2q region A screening charge of O-94 e is drawn toward the ionized nitrogen atom 67% of this charge comes from the non-ionized or “‘neuual” NO ,moiety with the remainder derived from the phenyi group_ Although the occupied and virtual ion levels of interest are Iocahzed on different parts of the N,oZ region. their phase reIatior paraIIeIs that of the neutral system orbit&_ An excited state of the ion. with orbital +41 occupied. is therefore likely to have a small overlap with the uncorrelated neutral ground state The correlated ground state. however. contains a determinant where the anti- bonding “N,O, orbital” is occupied. The overlap betu-een this component and the excited ion state therefore is expected to be Iarger (see table 6) The resaz!t is that the satellite gains intensity through ground state correlation (see fig 6)

As noted above corresponding interactions within the 0 1s ionized dimer are less pronounced_ The accumulation of screening charge on the ionized oxygen is less (0.49 e) than calculated for N 1s ionization (see fig S). 0 Is ionization, how- ever_ leads to a &n&r locahzation of one-particle wavefunctions as found in the N 1s ionized sys- tem The main difference between N 1s and 0 IS ionization appears to -arise from interference terms involving overlap amplitudes between the corre- lated neutral ground state and components of the ionic ground and excited states_ As indicated in

tables 6 and 8 overlap of the ionic terms with the primary ground state determinant, (O,OIp,O) are in phase for 0 1s ionization, but out of phase for N 1s ionization_ The reverse condition is found for overlaps involving double excitation of the neutral

Consideration of a singIe dimer pairing may also be inadequate A theoreti- cal aspect likely to he of even greater significance is the lack of size consistency in the CI evaluation of tfic monomer versus the dimcr structure_ The number of excited configurations included in the monomer and dimer computations were identicaI,

ie 300 singly and doubly excited configurations_ However, since the number of orbitaIs are doubled on going to the dimer. certain higher-lying excita- tions addressed in the monomer computations are neglected in the Iarger system. The excited dimer states are therefore not as-completely descrii as those in the monomer Inclusion of a larger num- ber of configurations in the dimer problem may well influence the reIative shake-up intensities and energies_ The problem of size consistency is further addressed in the following section_

3.3. NO-tiitner

In order to reduce the magnitude of the size- wusisteucy problem and to address the issue of “partial” dimer formation upon condensation of nitrosobenzene, corresponding computations were performed on the nitric oxide dimer, (NO),_ Ne- glect of the phenyl groups appears to be a suitable approximation in a detailed analysis of the “local- ized” NO-NO interactions_ Although some screerkg charge was drawn from the aromatic moieties in the 0 Is and N 1s ionic ground states of the cis-nitrosobenzene dimer, exciraz~onr involv- ing the phenyl group orbitals were found to have a negIigiiIe effect on the resulting shake-up struc- tures_ The comparison computations noted above on the trans-nitrosoben&e dimer further in- dicates an absence of significant phenyl group contributions to the satellite structure, i.e. a ro- tation of the phcnyI groups toward grcatcr planar- ity with the NO-NO projection yiekls an 0 Is shake-up structure without a distinct peak- This rest& is contrary to experiment as shown in fig. 9. Although the one-electron coupling within the NO dimer is found to be somewhat different from the NO-NO coupling within the.nitrosobenzne di- mer, sufficient paraIMs exist to permit us to qualitativeIy examine spectraI consequences of part&I bond formation in the latter system by vatying the bond distant in the NO dimer.

The inters actions leading to the high core-hole satehite in- tensity observed for the nitrosobenkene dimer thus parallels the analysis of the (NO), shake-up fea- tures, in spite of the shorter bondlength achieved in dimerfcumation- Variation of the magnitude of ON-NO coupling within the nitrosobenxene di- mer would prod&e results similar to those shown in fig 13 for (NO),.

Further evidence indicating the significance of “interrnoIccuIa? ekctronic coupling between components of the NO dimer is given by the appearance of new features in the valence ionixa- tion spectrum on going from the vapor to the condensed phase 113,321 (see fig 14) Con- densation yields a reduced itttextsity peak = 22 eV above the first ionization band which is absent in the :s phase_ In accord with experiment open shell CNDO/S CI computations on the valence level ion states of (NO), yields a weak intensity, or shake-up feature, at = 32 eV above the first ionization (see tig 14) In line with symmetry arguments [33]. the computations indicate that the solid state induced Iow-Iying shake-up arises from coupling between the HOMO ---, LUMO excited

4 Summary and condusions

Theoretical N Is and 0 1s core-ionization spee- tm of monomeric nitrosobenzene and a model nitrosobenzene dimer structure =xre cakulated within the CNDO/S CI equivalent-core approx- imation with ahowance for up to doubly excited cotigurations and favorabIy compared to existing vapor and condensed phase spectra_ Unlike the dramatic differences in core-hole structure ob- served for some donor/acceptor-substituted aromatic systems on going from the vapor to the wndensed phase. the satellite structures for N Is and 0 Is ionization of nitrosobenzene are r&a- rice& unchanged upon condensation even though specific i~2fernrufecu&r interactions are experimen- taliy indicated for the solid_ Our analysis indicated that such a similarity was uaccidental” due to different wuphng mechanims active in the two eases

Specifically. the theoretical results for the planar monomer ionizations were in excellent agreement with observation_ Intense satellite structure for both 0 Is and N 1s ionization, at the approxi- mately correct energi~ were obtained_ The nature of the sateIke feamres were anaiyzed in terms of interactions between the arotnttic and nitroso groups- Neutral molecule ground state correlation had little effect on the fmal state spectra_ Compu- tations on the dimer structure provided less quantitative agreement with the condensed phase spectra. although subtle energy and intensity vari- ations noted experimentalIy on going to the wn- densed phase were quahtatively reproduced_ The

. dimer geometry used to model the condensed phase environment was derived from the kperimental vscai srrucncre where specific NO-NO his-dimer pairing was indicated. with the phenyl groups rotated = 90” out of the NO-NO plane_ The less than ideal agreement between theory and experi- ment pointed out the importance of a careful X-ray photoelectron spectroswpic study on molec- ular czystds of the nitrosober&ne dimer (di- azobenzene dioxide) to unequivocally demonstrate the infiuenee of well characterized EntermoIeeular interactions on the core-hole structures. Computa- tions. nevertheless, indicated that solid state shake- up arises from inrefnzolecuhr screening betu-een the coupled NO moieties, and is thus quite differ- ent in origin than found for the gas phase species. The importance of neutral ground state correlation in the description of the condensed phase spectra was also demonstrated. Comparison wmputations on a hypothetical trans-nitrosobenzene dimer. where the phenyl moieties were only rotated 30° from the NO-NO plane, further verified the lack of significant aromatic group contributions to the condensed phase shakeup structure.

To further elucidate the wnsequences of “IoeaI- ized- NO-NO coupling on the nitrosobenzene condensed phase spectra the N 1s hole-state sperm- b-al function of the nitrous oxide dimer was ex- amined- Intense satellite structure was attributed to intermolecular screening factors in accord with prior theoretical arguments_ Ahhough relative satellite intensity was shown to be strongly depen- dent on N-N separation, the fina state intensity and energy distribution cahxrlated at the equi- librium geometry was in close agreement with experiment_ Parallels between the nature of the coupling in (NO), and in the nitrosobenzene con- densed phase and crystal habit were indicated.

Further evidence indicating the significance of “intermolectdar eiectronic coupling between components of the NO dimer was obtained through a comparison of the existing UPS condensed phase spectrum with semi-empirical open shell computa- tions in the valence !ev& ion states_ Orbitals de- rived from solid state interaction, and which wn- tribute to the experimentally well-resolved valence level shake-up peak, were found to wrrespond to those Ievels which w-ere of particular i&port&x in
